It smells like you've not got a session manager running in your X session. Check the script and see the bit where it checks for $SESSION_MANAGER If this module fails to load then PA will honour the idle timeouts (this is perfectly normal - PA is designed to exit after a period of inactivity) as the session manager connection will not keep PA alive. PA should autospawn again, but it wont support the x11 root window property setting and thus wont support piggy backing on top of SSH's X11 forwarding. Hope this helps.
